The attacks in Paris and Beirut have dominated headlines and prompted many to search for answers to key questions. How can we counter ISIS and Islamist extremism? What are the roots and causes that led to the rise of the so-called Islamic State? To what extent is this organization Islamic? What should the United States do about it?

To help elucidate these complex issues, the American Iranian Council and Marymount Manhattan College have organized an event featuring Ambassador Dennis Ross, moderated by Dr. Hooshang Amirahmadi.
